Midwest Sunrise

I left Chicago before sunrise this morning. I took the photos above while driving (not one of my most brilliant ideas) near the Illinois/Indiana border. I don't remember what state it was. Anyhow, the Midwest, while flat, is very scenic around sunrise with the morning fog hovering above the boundless acres of flat farmland. I was lucky, I made it to Connecticut in one day without any traffic. Getting up early does have its perks, especially for photographers and truck drivers.

About Me

Through my love for travel and curiosity about interesting people and places, my dream in college of being the world's best sportswriter has changed. I grew up in Danbury, Conn., playing many sports. School was always second. In college I developed the love for reading and the confidence to write well. Since graduation I have driven across the U.S. I lived in Aspen for a year, where I carved tracks in fresh powder and wrote a book about a very inspirational man, “The Monk,” and then lived for almost four years in Chicago and a year in Bogotá. During this time I became a self-taught photojournalist. I am now living in Astoria, N.Y., where I am working on several independent projects that I'll explain when the time is right. Until then, thank you for visiting my blog. I welcome any feedback or comments.
